"If he'd just pay me what he's paying them to stop me robbing
him, I'd stop robbing him."

Paul Newman, "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"

Dear Vorticians,

This week, in the VORTEX Blog, I've covered the topics below. I
hope you'll read them and share your thoughts.

Developments in the legal world with big ramifications for the
network world, 06/28/05

We like to think that it's all about speeds and feeds, cool new
technologies and hot new products. But the harsh reality is that
raw politics, bureaucrats in dark offices and judges in black
robes do as much - if not more - to shape our industry than all
the R&D money spent in the world. This week, the U.S. Supreme
Court issued two decisions that will have a major impact on the
technology industry. Find out why I'm pleased with one, and
worried about the other. And tell me what you think of these new
hits from the Supremes.

What the heck do pi, Butch Cassidy and utility computing have to
do with one another?, 06/30/05

The Martians are attacking - again - in Steven Spielberg's remake
of the classic "War of the Worlds." Vorticians are attacking
again with a variety of insights, opinions and witty retorts to
recent VORTEX Blog entries. Read 'em and enjoy - then share your
own ripostes.
